Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said this week that President Joe Biden was “the real crook” after he announced on Sunday evening that he was pardoning his son, convicted felon Hunter Biden.

Cruz, who predicted nearly a year ago that Biden would pardon his son, made the remarks during the most recent episode of his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson while talking about the news shortly after it broke.

“Never mind about the corruption, never mind about the gun offenses, never mind about the drug offenses, never mind about the tax offenses,” Cruz said. “No man is above the law unless your name is Joe Biden and the entire Biden family.”

Cruz mocked the idea that Hunter Biden was “some lonely crackhead who just sort of went astray.”

“That’s what Joe Biden and the entire White House has tried to paint him as,” he said. “Hunter Biden’s business was selling access to daddy. The real crook here is Joe Biden.”

“The Biden family, they made tens of millions of dollars selling favors from Joe Biden,” Cruz noted. “Listen, nobody pays Hunter Biden. Nobody pays a crack head money when he has no marketable services. He was not selling anything other than daddy.”

“When Joe Biden entered this pardon, it is about protecting his own rear end,” Cruz continued.

He said that the noise that he helped create about the “corrupt” sweetheart plea deal that Hunter Biden got from federal prosecutors helped to collapse the deal after it was exposed to the public.

“It was indefensible that the plea deal was zero jail time, a slap on the wrist, which Joe Biden said, ‘Well, gosh, that would be fair. Don’t punish my son’,” Cruz said. “And understand, this is not about Hunter. This is about Joe.”
